Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing falls back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Most of our Aldine customers book it in the spring and again in the fall, and we keep the same order on every house.
Priced by stories, not by a visit. The bundle costs less than two trips, and the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.

On our jobs, what moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and a high window count take more time on the glass. Clogged gutters, the ones not opened in years or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a regular cleaning, and we will tell you that before we start. Cleaning gutters and downspouts, plus screen rinsing and sill wiping, are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Many Aldine homes need the glass done along with the gutters, and heavy tree cover is usually the reason. Where a house sits under a thick canopy, the film on the outside glass and the paste in the elbows build up quickly, so the work is more than a quick rinse. We use our own cleaning solutions on the glass and the frames, and we rinse everything we touch. Residential and commercial jobs follow the same order of work, though commercial buildings are priced per building. For homeowners who want a steady schedule, regular cleanings keep the load from building up between visits.
The easiest way to get an exact number is to send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. We will reply with a quote from those details. The interior and exterior of a window are separate jobs, and this visit covers the exterior only.
To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will send a written estimate before we set a date.

For context, nationally. Angi puts the average US gutter cleaning at $168, most homeowners paying $119 to $234 (Angi, 2026). Exterior-only window cleaning runs roughly $4 to $10 per window, or $100 to $250 for a typical home, with $3 to $5 per window more on upper stories (Angi, HomeGuide, via Google AI Overview, Oct 2026). Priced by stories, the most common model, a two-story gutter cleaning sits around $150 to $300 nationally. If a quote you are holding sits far outside these, ask what is driving it.
On every house we work, the first scoop out of a gutter ends up on the wall below it. We put the glass last so it ends up there once.
Gutters first, glass last. That is the order on every job our crew does, and it is the reason we book both with one crew instead of sending two.
What we see from the ladder. When we clear a run, the leaves, the grit and the black water that sits under them come down the wall and across any window below it. Flushing a downspout throws more of it, in a stream, onto the panes beside the outlet. If the glass was washed first, someone has to wash them again before we are off the ladder. So we do the roof blow-off, clear the gutters, flush every downspout, give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then start on the glass. The panes under the downspout outlets are the last ones we touch on the house.
Two things we do differently from a window-only crew. We rinse the siding under each run before we move to the glass, so nothing left on the wall washes down onto it in the first rain. And we do the top-floor glass from the same ladder position as the gutter run, one setup per side of the house, which is where the bundle saving comes from: no second trip, no second setup.
Downspouts flushed, screens rinsed, sills wiped, bags hauled. None of it shows up as a line item.
Gutters. Roof blow-off where debris sits above the gutter line. Every run hand-cleared, not just the visible stretch from the ground. Every downspout flushed with water until it runs clear, and a blocked one cleared on the spot where it can be reached from above. A downspout that feeds a buried drain line is checked at the outlet; clearing the buried line is a separate job, quoted before anyone touches it. Debris bagged and taken away. Before-and-after photos of each run, sent to you before the crew leaves.
Windows, exterior only. Every reachable pane on the outside of the house, cleaned with a water-fed pole and purified water so the glass dries without streaks or towel lint. Frames wiped. Screens taken down, hand-rinsed and put back on request. Sills wiped. Upper-story windows done from the pole, not from a ladder leaned on the siding.
Not included, and we say so up front. Interior glass. Hard-water or sprinkler staining etched into the glass, which needs a separate mineral treatment and is quoted after the crew sees it. Post-construction paint, stickers or stucco. Skylights and solar panels. Pressure washing of siding, decks or driveways. Gutter guards: if a run is covered, lifting and reseating the guard adds time and is quoted by the foot before the visit, never on the day.
Twice a year for both, and the same two months, which is why one visit covers it.
Most of our Aldine customers book our cleaning services for gutters and exterior windows twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar.
In spring the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutter elbows. In fall the leaf load comes down and the wet mat sits in the runs until the first hard weather. Storm and wind seasons can move both visits by a few weeks, so we set dates as the weather allows.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded through the season. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust faster than most. On those houses the work is scheduled closer together, because the buildup does not wait for the calendar. Professional window cleaning is the right call when the spots are mineral and not dust, because a regular rinse does not lift them.
Windows need the work when you see a haze only when the sun is low, and a hazy front of glass takes away from curb appeal. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout, because that water can cause water damage along the wall below. Those are the two signs we look for on the first visit, and we will show you the photos of both.
Most two-story homes are done in a morning. You do not need to be there, and you get the photos either way.
The crew calls the day before with a two-hour arrival window, and again when they are on the way.
How long. This Old House puts a professional gutter cleaning at 30 minutes to an hour on a typical house. Exterior windows on the same house run about the same again or a little more, so plan on a morning for a two-story home and most of a day for three stories or a house with a lot of glass. Gutters that have not been touched in years, steep roofs and wraparound porches run longer.
Before the crew arrives. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, so the glass is dry and the ground is not mud. Move cars off the driveway if windows face it. Keep pets inside while ladders are up. Unlock side gates. Nothing else; the crew brings its own water and power.
While they work. Gutters first, glass last, as described above. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside. If something cannot be reached safely (a pane over a sunroom roof, a gutter run behind a tree limb) the crew photographs it and tells you rather than guessing.
After. Photos of every gutter run and the finished glass, sent by text or email before the crew leaves. The invoice matches the number quoted on the phone.
Send a photo and we tell you what it is. No argument about whether it rained.
Streaks. Purified water dries clean; a streak means something was missed, and that is on us. Send us a photo of it and we tell you what it is.
Spots that come back. Round white spots that return a day after cleaning are mineral deposits from sprinklers or hard water etched into the glass, not dirt. Cleaning cannot remove them; a mineral treatment can. The crew flags it on the visit so you are not surprised.
Rain the next day. Rain is distilled water and does not dirty clean glass by itself; what spots glass after rain is dust already on the frame or screen washing down. That is why frames and screens are done, not just the pane. If it looks worse after a storm, send the photo and we look at it.
Overflow after a cleaning. If a gutter runs clean and still sheets water over the edge in the next rain, the cause is slope, a sagging hanger or an undersized downspout, not debris. The crew notes what it saw and tells you; cleaning it again will not fix it, and we will not sell you a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Your house. Ladder stand-offs on every ladder so nothing rests on the gutter lip or dents the siding. Screens go back in the window they came out of.
Neighborhood by neighborhood, with a lead time we say out loud, and a call before the truck turns in.
We have cleaned gutters and exterior windows across Aldine, and we book the work as one window and gutter cleaning appointment. Booking our cleaning services starts with a phone call or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. From there we set a date and confirm it, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but the crew asks for the side gate to be left unlocked.
Lead time changes with the season. Spring and fall are the two busy windows, when the seasonal buildup brings in the most calls, so the calendar fills earlier in those months. Outside those windows slots open up more easily. We schedule service around the weather and the house, not the other way around.
We work on residential properties and on commercial buildings, and multi-story buildings are priced by the number of stories. The residential side covers single-family homes, townhomes and the exterior of condos. Each residential window job gets the same order of work: gutters first, glass second, and a photo of every run before we leave. Clean windows look better and last longer when the gutters above them are cleared first, which is the whole reason we keep the order fixed. Every window on the house gets the same attention, from the picture windows on the front to the smaller panes at the back, and each sill is wiped before we leave.
Yes. The same two people handle the gutters and our window cleaning services on the outside of the house in one visit. We do the gutters first, so the runoff from the roof does not land on glass we have already cleaned.
We do not give a figure in writing. The number comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and you can get it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the house front.
On most Aldine houses the outside carries the load. Tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spots all sit on the outer glass, and grime from them can leave the inside looking fine while the view is hazy.
Most of our Aldine customers book in spring, after the spring bloom, and again in fall, after the leaves come down. If you are not sure, text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which visit makes sense.
Not on our jobs. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so the grit and the black water from the runs are gone before any pane is touched. We also remove dirt from the frames and sills before we leave.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of our exterior washing services. They are not billed separately on this visit.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only. Windows inside the house are a separate job, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
